Edit Pulldown Menu

The Edit pulldown menu gives access to basic file operations. Default selections in the Edit pulldown menu and their corresponding actions are:

Undo	Undoes the last set of changes made to the current file. This menu choice is available only when one or more sets of undoable changes exists. If several sets of changes have been done to the file, the Undo choice will undo those changes one at a time, starting with the most recent set of changes.
Redo	Redoes a previously-undone set of changes to the current file. This menu choice is available only when one or more sets of redoable changes exists. If several sets of changes to a file have been undone, the Redo choice will redo those changes one at a time, starting with the most recent set of changes undone.
Cut	Deletes selected text from the current file and copies it to the clipboard. You can then move this text elsewhere in the file by using the Edit->Paste operation. This selection is enabled only if text is selected. Note: You cannot copy rectangular blocks to the clipboard.
Copy	Copies selected text from the current file to the clipboard. The copied text is left selected and unchanged. You can then place a copy of this text elsewhere in the file by using the Edit->Paste operation. This selection is enabled only if text is selected. Note: You cannot copy rectangular blocks to the clipboard.
Paste	Copies text currently in the clipboard to the current cursor position in the editor window. Notes: You cannot use this choice when there is no text in the clipboard. Use the Edit->Cut, Edit->Copy, or Edit->Block operations to place text in the clipboard. If you paste text into a file that has a record length shorter than that of the text in the clipboard, the text may be truncated when you save the file back to its host. You will be warned that the file's record length has been exceeded in such a case.
Find	Opens the Find input area at the bottom of the Editor pane. Use this input area to specify find criteria for text you want to locate in the current file. Controls in this input area are: Find Enter the text to be found into this field. The editor locates and emphasizes the nearest matching text in the file. Next Moves to the next occurrence of the find text if it exists. Previous Moves to the previous occurrence of the find text if it exists. All Finds all occurrences of the find text in the current file and hides all other lines. If the Expand/hide area control is enabled, a symbol appears on each line that precedes a hidden line or group of lines. Clicking on brings the associated hidden line or lines into view and the symbol is replaced by a symbol. Clicking on the symbol hides the associated line or lines again. To display all lines, choose Edit->Show all from the menu bar. Case sensitive Specifies whether the find feature is to respect or ignore character case. If this option is selected, only those character strings that exactly match the text in the Find field (including uppercase and lowercase characters) will be found. If this option is not selected, all character strings matching the text in the Find text field will be found, regardless of whether individual characters are in uppercase or lowercase. Wrap If selected, searches all text in the current file, including that preceding the cursor position. If you do not select this option, text is searched, depending on search direction, only until the beginning or end of the file. Select found text If selected, found text becomes a selected block of text. Restrict search to selection If selected, find operations will look for the search item only in the marked text selection of the current file view. If no text is selected, the find operation tries to find the search item in the current file view. Column restricted search If selected, restricts the scope of your search to certain columns only. To set the column boundaries of your text search, enter a value for the following fields: Start column Specifies the first column to which search operations apply. End column Specifies the last column to which search operations apply.
Find next	Finds the next occurrence (after the current cursor position) of the current find item.
Find previous	Finds the previous occurrence (before the current cursor position) of the current find item.
Find/replace	Opens the Find and Replace input area at the bottom of the Editor pane. Use this input area to specify find and replace criteria for text you want to change in the current file.
